About the role

You'll be working with systems that impact more than a billion users, while still retaining a close contact with our day-to-day tool users.

We take quality very seriously, and can promise a highly skilled and dedicated team. We value the safety and freedom to be wrong, a healthy work/life balance.

DESCRIPTION You will participate in building both frontend and backend systems for our tools. It's crucial to understand the bigger picture, and how the whole distributed app works. This means keeping track of many technical systems, but also getting to know many people.

The work will include planning, presenting and executing on accomplishing various aspects of app and app related data processing. Amongst other things you'll deal with intelligent recommendations, working at scale, backwards compatibility and schema evolution. You don't shy away from driving a project and possess excellent communication skills.

We primarily work in Java and Typescript/React (web), but also have services in Scala. Does this sound like you? Join us!
